nuttx/ChangeLog

0.1.0 2007-03-09  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Initial Release
	* Support for Linux user mode simulation and TI
	  TMS320C5471 (Arm7) provided

0.1.1 2007-03-14  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Corrected an error in interrupt level context switching
	  for C5471
	* Added fgets() and gets() logic; verified c5471 console read.
	* Corrected error in reading from the C5471 serial port:
          Improper use of semaphore can cause deadlock.
	* Fixed an error in the memory cleanup:  The idle task
	  cannot take sempahores (because it must always be ready
	  to run).
	* Tasks can now accept a configurable maximum number of
	  input parameters (argc)
	* _task_init() was divided into separate functions that
	  require fewer parameters.  This was necessary to keep
	  the stack usage down for the 8051/2 (which has only
	  256 bytes of stack).
	* Attempts to use C5471 console from interrupt handlers
	  can cause errors. Added a special path for this case.
	* Refuse calls to sem_wait and sem_trywait from interrupt
	  handlers.  This was happening because interrupt handlers
	  were calling printf-like functions.
	* Added strtok() and strtok_r()
	* Added a simple shell called nsh (see examples/nsh).
	* Platform support for 8052 is complete but not stable
	  when the timer interrupt is enabled.  Seems to be an
	  issue when SP enters indirect address space.
	* Documentation updates

0.1.2 2007-03-19  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Add dirent.h, opendir(), readdir(), closedir(), etc.
	* Add strerror()
	* Added 'ls' command to nsh
	* Added C5471 watchdog driver
	* Fixed another bug where free() is called from IDLE task.
	  Can't do this; the caller must be able to wait for access
	  to memory.
	* Fixed bugs associated with debug output:
          Cannot do dbg() in middle of context switch logic.
	  because it may require use of semaphores and cause
	  additional context switches. lldbg() is safe.
	* Interrupt must be disabled throughout all context switches.
	* Separated C5471 serial driver; a shareable part is
	  in drivers/. ; the C5471 specific part is in arch/C5471.
	  serial.h defines the interface.
	* Fixed mq_receive() and mq_send() -- bad memcpy()
	* Fixed C5471 signal deliver logic: use of dbg() and
          other actions by use signal handler can alter errno.
          need to protect errno during signal handling.
	* Fixed uninitialized variable in filesystem that could
	  cause various problems
	* Added a test for roundrobin scheduler.

0.2.1 2007-03-22  Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Fix error in handing signed decimal in vsprintf().
	* Major restructuring of header files to get closer to
	  POSIX compliance.
	* Eliminate compilation warnings that that crept into
	  recent check-ins
	* Add kill()
	* Added support for POSIX timers
	* Some Documentation updates
	* Added support for the Neuros OSD / DM320

0.2.2 2007-03-26 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Created the configs/ directory; separated board configuration
	  from processor architecture logic
	* Add memory leak detection test to examples/ostest
	* Corrected memory leak in OS pthread join logic
	* Corrected memory leaks in examples/ostest due to failures
	  to join or detach from pthreads.
	* Added pthread_once(), pthread_kill(), pthread_sigmask()
	* Added pthread_barrierattr_*() APIs
	* Added pthread_barrier_init(), pthread_barrier_destroy(), and
	  pthread_barrier_wait();
	* Added pthread barrier test
	* Added protection so that errno cannot be modified from
	  interrupt handling.
	* sched_setparam(), sched_setscheduler() now correctly set
	  errno; pthread_setscheduler() now returns the correct errno.
	* Added pthread_setschedprio().
	* Added directories to hold board-specific header files
	* Added directories to hold board-specific drivers

0.2.3 2007-03-29 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* mq_receive and mq_send now return errno's appropriately
	* mq_receive and mq_send are now correctly awakened by signals.
	* Fixed an unmatched sched_lock/unlock pair in task_delete().
	* sched_lock must be called in _exit() because operation of
	  task_delete() can cause pending tasks to be merged and a
	  context switch to occur.
	* Added mq_timedreceive() and mq_timedsend()
	* signal mask is now inherited by both child tasks and threads.
	* Improved sharebility of stdout among pthreads (only).  Nothing
	  was broken, but by moving the mutual exclusion logic to a
	  higher level, the printf output is more readable.
	* Fixed a bug in file system cleanup:  A list was being deleted
	  before the buffers contained in the list.
	* Fixed a bug in the wait-for-message-queue-not-empty logic.
	* Added a test of timed mqueue operations; detected and corrected
	  some mqueue errors.
	* Identified and corrected a race condition associated with
	  pthread_join.  In the failure condition, memory was being
	  deallocated while still in use.

0.2.4 2007-04-28 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Verfied c5471 build under Cygwin on WinXP
	* Makesystem changes to better support different SoCs.
	* Made arch/c5471/include and arch/dm320/include identical in
	  preparation for merging into arch/arm
	* Logic from arch/c5471 and arch/dm320 combined into arch/arm.
	  arch/c5471 and arch/dm320 are deprecated and will be removed
	  when the new c5471 and dm320 logic is verified.

	* Added FAT support for unlink(), mkdir(), rmdir(), and rename
	* Added FAT support for opendir(), closedir(), readdir(), seekdir(),
	  telldir(), rewindir().
	* Fixed ARM compilation errors introduced in 0.2.5 (that is what I get

	  in 0.2.5
	* Restructured some Makefiles to better handle enabling and disabling
	  NuttX features without having so much conditional compilation in the

	  writing to the socket.

0.3.14 2008-09-08 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* FAT FS now uses position variable in struct file.  This simplifies operations
	  like ftell().

	* Added a simple test the ROMFS filesystem (examples/romfs)
	* NSH: Use ROMFS to provide an option for a start-up script at /etc/init.d/rcS
	* Add definition of BIOC_XIPBASE ioctl and implement in RAM disk block driver.
	  This is a low level requirement for eXecute In Place (XIP) support.
	* Add a FIOC_MMAP to perform memory mapping of a file and implemented the
	  ioctl command in the ROMFS filesystem.  This is a requirement for eXecute
	  In Place (XIP) support.

	* Correct the frequency of system timer interrupts in the NXP LPC214x port
	  (off by 20x in nuttx-0.3.15)
	* Add an option to set aside a separate stack for interrupt handling (ARM only).
	  This is useful when memory is constrained, there are multiple tasks, and
	  the interrupt stack requirement is high (as when USB is enabled).
	* Added USB serial class device side driver (emulates Prolific PL2303
	  serial-to-USB adaptor)
	* Add LPC214x USB serial configuration; Add examples/usbserial test

	  system timer.
	* Fixed serial driver bugs related to (1) open counts and (2) recognizing
	  O_NONBLOCK on read.

	  was unnecessarily large.
	* Added LPC214x SPI1 driver to interface with MMC on mcu123.com board.
	* Added a simple SPI-based MMC/SD block driver
	* NSH: Add LPC214x-specific support to NSH; NSH now mounts any SD cards in the slot.
	* FAT: Fix access to unaligned 32-bit values in partion table (start sector & size)
	* Fixed a problem with a un-initialized variable in the USB serial driver.
	* Added USB storage NXP LPC214x configuration
	* Added a test for USB storage under examples/usbstorage
	* Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly clearing a HALTed
	  endpoints (other than EP) on receipt of CLEAR FEATURES request.
	* Added USB storage class device side driver (BBB)
	* Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly handling request buffers
	  larger then the endpoint's max packet (DM320 driver also fixed, untested)
	* Added logic to the USB device interface:  A bit is needed to force the driver to
	  to terminate an IN transfer with a short packet (zero-length if necessary).
	* Fix an error in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver that was causing corruption of
	  the request queue (M320 driver also fixed, untested)
	* Correct another error in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver that caused read failures
	  when the request buffer size was larger than maxpacket.
	* Numerous corrections/extensions to the USB tracing logic included in 0.3.16 (but
	  not integrated until 0.3.17)
	* Fixed another bug in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver:  After a stalled endpoint
	  is resumed (view CLEAR FEATURE), we must restart the IN (outgoing) queue.

0.3.18 2008-11-16 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Added port for the STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711
	  board (STR71x testing is stalled because I have been unable to get OpenOCD to
	  communicate with my JTAG wiggler on Linux).
	* Fix race condition workaround delay in LPC214X SPI logic.  This was also the cause of the
	  very bad MMC/SD performance.
	* Began port of the Hitachi SH-1 using the SH-1/US7032EVB1 board
	* Re-built all configurations that use SDCC and Zilog toolchains to make sure they still
	  build (they didn't, but they do now).
	* Fixed several erroneous "list empty" checks in the CAN driver.
	* Hitachi SH-1 passes (reduced) examples/ostest; the examples/nsh test still fails.
	  There are remaining instabilities that make the port un-usable.  The nature of these is
	  not understood; the behavior is that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised.
	  This could be a silicon problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the
	  gcc 3.4.5 toolchain (which has very limit SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the
	  CMON debugger.  At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put
	  into this cool old processor for the time being.
	* Renamed configuration item CONFIG_PROC_STACK_SIZE as CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE:  It now
	  only controls the size of the stack for the IDLE thread.  Added CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE:
	  This is the size of stack used with the user_start() thread is created.  The two stacks
	  no longer have to be the same.
	* Add a loop device that converts a file into a block device.
	* Each NSH command can not be disabled through a configuration setting. All of these
	 settings make the configuration of NSH potentially complex but also allow it to squeeze
	  into very small memory footprints.
	* Added a block to character (BCH) driver.  This is kind of the reverse of the loop
	  device; it allows you access a block device like a character device.
	* Added strcasecmp() and strncasecmp()
	* NSH: Added the 'dd' command
	* NSH: Added the 'losetup' command
	* Fixed a FAT bug:  After recent changes, it would mount a (invalid) FAT file system
	  even if the medium is not formatted!
	* Corrected two important errors in FAT lseek implementation: (1) the sectors-per-cluster
	  value was being reset to "1" and (2) important lseek logic was omitted when the seek
	  position was zero.
	* Fixed a bug in getopt().  It would fail if on certain combinations of terminal argument
	  types.

0.3.19 2008-11-26 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Add poll() and select() APIs (in the initial check-in, these work only with character devices) 
	* Add poll() methods to /dev/null, /dev/zero, pipes, fifos, and serial drivers.
	* Add examples/poll for testing poll() and select()
	* Fix hostile behavior of getc, fgetc, getchar, etc.: the serial driver was waiting for a
	  full buffer of read data before return.  This means that getc would stall when it needed
	  to refill the input buffer. The old behavior (read full blocks) might be useful in other
	  contexts, so it is still available within the driver as a configuration option.
	* Implement poll() and select() support for TCP/IP sockets
	* Fixed an important bug in the TCP/IP buffering logic.  When TCP/IP read-ahead is enabled
	  and not recv() is in-place when a TCP/IP packet is received, the packet is placed into
	  a read-ahead buffer.  However, the old contents of the read-ahead buffer were not being
	  cleared and old data would contaminate the newly received buffer.
	* Implemented support for connection backlog.  The size of the backlog is specified by the
	  second argument of the standard listen() API.  Hooks are provided to support poll()/select()
	  waiting for connections, with a subsequent call to accept() to use the backlogged connection.
	* Fixed a minor bug in accept().  It should allow the address and addresslen values to be NULL
	* Added first-cut definition for a framebuffer interface (and simulated framebuffer for testing
	  purposes only)
	* Added fixed precision math support
	* Added some color converson routines into what may become a real graphics library someday.
	* Added a framebuffer driver for the DM320 (untested on initial check-in)
	* Network: add support for outgoing multicast addresses
	* Added some rasterizers to the graphics library

0.4.0 2008-12-06 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Initial release of a tiny windowing system for NuttX
	* Add fixed precision sin() and cos() (not well tested at initial check-in)
	* Add an X11-based simulated framebuffer driver
	* The simulated target now has an option (CONFIG_SIM_WALLTIME) that will let the simulation
	  run in more-or-less realtime.
	* Added more more extensive window support:  frames, toolbars, etc.
	* Added support for bitmap fonts
	* Integrated the new font support with a font test in examples/nx
	* Add documentation for NX graphics subsystem

0.4.1 2009-02-06 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
	* Added board support fot the ZiLog eZ80Acclaim! ez80f910200zco Development Kit.
	* Fixed several compilation errors in fixed precision math library when built
	  against toolchains that do not support 64-bit type 'long long'.
	* Fix errors in some function prototypes in dirent.h
	* Add eZ80F91 EMAC driver
	* Fix recvfrom() compilation error -- only noted under ZDS
	* Updated all ARM Make.def files to work with gcc 2.4.2 (However, there are
	  still some build issues associated with that toolchain in use of arm-elf-objcopy
	  -- see the TODO.txt list for details)
	* Fix problems with Z16F and eZ80 compilation introduced with recent changes.

0.4.2 2009-02-28 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* M16C: Add support for the Renesas M16C MCU and the SKP16C26 StarterKit. However, 
	  the target cannot be built because the GNU m16c-elf-ld link fails with 
	  the following message:

	    m32c-elf-ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.19 assertion fail /home/Owner/projects/nuttx/buildroot/toolchain_build_m32c/binutils-2.19/bfd/elf32-m32c.c:482

	  Where the reference line is:

	    /* If the symbol is out of range for a 16-bit address,
	       we must have allocated a plt entry.  */
	     BFD_ASSERT (*plt_offset != (bfd_vma) -1);

	  No workaround is known at this time.  This is a show stopper for M16C.

	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fix interrupt vectors positioning; they were being positioned
	  wrong by 64 bytes (Kevin Franzen).
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Corrected some stack handling errors during interrupt handling
	   context save and restore (Kevin Franzen).
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Corrected vector intialization logic (Kevin Franzen).
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Corrected overflow problem in the calculation of UART baud rate
	    divisor, the system timer divisor, and the EMAC poll timer.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed GPIO pin configuration get serial output
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Correct stack overflow in ostest example configuration
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed restoration of interrupts state on interrupt level context swith.

0.4.3 2009-03-04 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* z8Encore! and eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed the serial driver initialization sequence
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed error in vector table:  Missing space set aside for the
	  "unused" vectors.  As a result, all vectors above timer4 were skewed.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed logic error in UART interrupt handler.
	* Many fixes in FAT file system and in NSH for correct compilation with ZDS-II
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Added and verified a NuttShell (NSH) configuration.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Correct endian-ness; defconfig files said BIG endian.
	* Restructured parts of the uIP port for correct compilation with ZDS-II
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Complete basic integration of the eZ80F91 EMAC driver.  The
	  driver is basically functional and should mature prior to the 0.4.3 release.
	* Implemented priority inheritance logic for POSIX semaphores.  Because the pthread
	  mutexes are built on semaphores, they will have this property as well.

0.4.4 2009-03-29 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* examples/nsh:  A debug option was left on that can (and does) cause
	  infinite loops and stack overflows.
	* net/uip: Correct calculation of checksum on ICMP ping response.
	* examples/dchpd: Added a tiny DHCP server example
	* net/uip: Correct UDP bind behavior.  It should select a valid port number
	  if it receives a port number of zero.
	* netutils/dhcpd:  Corrrect for ZDS compiler.  Fix issue with re-use of a
	  port number. Fixed a number of broadcast-related problems.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add a tiny webserver configuration
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Fixed an important bug in the EMAC Tx timeout logic. It was
	  always timing out when the load was heavy and worse, for some reason,
	  resetting the Tx function caused unexpected registers to be reset in
	  the Rcv function was well.
	* Z80: Patch incorported: "[2696648] Z80: interrupt flag stored in parity bit"
	  (submitted by JPelletier).  The is the same fix that was needed for the
	  eZ80 and fixed in 0.4.2.
	* netutils: Added logic to support a simple wget() function
	* examples/wget: Added a test for wget() (untested -- see NOTE)
	* lib/strncasecmp: Fix cut'n'paste error in function name.
	* NSH: Added wget command (untested -- see NOTE).
	* examples/sendmail: A simple sendmail example (untested -- see NOTE)

	NOTE: Features related to wget and sendmail are not tested on the target platform
	in this release and, hence, most likely have problems.  I don't have the correct network
	network setup to perform that testing now (I'm in a hotel).

0.4.5 2009-04-19 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Add an enumeration argument to the SPI chip select and status methods so
	  that the interface can handle more than one device.
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add a generic SPI driver for all eZ80 boards.
	* Add a setmode() method to the SPI interface to handle parts with differing
	  mode requirements.
	* include/nuttx/i2c.h: Defined a standard I2C interface
	* eZ80Acclaim!: Add an I2C driver.
	* eZ8Encore!: Add an I2C driver.
	* Add support for the Freescale i.MX1/L architecture and a configuration for
	  the Freescale MX1ADS development board.
	* examples/helloxx: Added a simple C++ hello world example
	* include/css: Added std header files
	* libxx: New C++-only directory provides support for minimal C++ applications

0.4.6 2009-05-19 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* Change SPI interface so that is can accomodate interfaces where the
	  number of bits per word is greater an 8 (such as with many 9-bit display
	  interfaces). -- this might have broken a few things which will need to
	  be retested!
	* arch/arm/src/imx: Added i.MX SPI driver
	* SPI: Add a method to set the number of bits per word.  Also add an
	  alternative interface for so that (eventually) I can phase the sndblock
	  and recvblock methods and replace them with a single exchange method
	* Build:  objcopy fails with toolchains that use newer GCC and binutils.  The
	  following arguments need to be included in the objcopy command line "-R .note
	  -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment"  This has bin fixed in arch/arm/src/Makefile,
	  but other architectures may have the same problem.  Thanks to Dave Marples
	  for verifying this.
	* configs/eagle100/ostest: Added support for the MicroMint Eagle100 board. 
	  This board has a Luminary LM3S6918 Cortex-M3. Added a configuration to build
	  examples/ostest.
	* arch/arm/src/lpc214x: Add configuration option to enable fast GPIO (vs.
	  legacy, "slow" GPIO) for LPC214x.
	* arch/arm: Restructured the arch/arm directory structure to better suppor ARM
	  and Cortex-M3.
	* sched/: pthread_create() must return a (non-negated) errno value on failure.
	* configs/eagle100/nsh: Add a NuttShell (NSH) configuration for the Eagle-100

0.4.7 2009-05-29 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* arch/arm/src/lm3s: Added an Ethernet driver for the LM3S6918
	* configs/eagle100/nettest: Added an examples/nettest configuration for the
	  Micromint Eagle100 board.
	* Documentation/NuttxPortingGuide.html: Added a section on NuttX device drivers.
	* configs/eagle100/httpd: Added an examples/uip configuration for the
	  Micromint Eagle100 board.
	* arch/arm/src/lm3s: Added an SSI driver for the LM3S6918
	* examples/nsh: Added MMC/SD support for the LM3S6918
	* arch/arm/src/lm3s: Fix logic for setting and clearing output GPIOs (critical
	  fix!).
	* drivers/mmcsd: Found numerous errors in current MMC/SD SPI driver.  Bad frequency
	  calculation based on CSD settings, inappropriate timeouts, odd code that looks like
	  a bad search and replace.  Also needs support for SDHC ver 2.x.  New MMC/SD is
	  largely redesigned and probably non-functional in the first check-in.
	* drivers/mmcsd: Changes verified on 4Gb Kingston microSHDC card and on a 2Gb
	  SanDisk microSDC card on the Eagle100 platform.
	* fs/fat: With the 4Gb card, the first tests of FAT32 were (finally) performed.
	  Found and corrected a problem that prevented use of FAT32: It was not updating
	  the sector cache before checking the FAT32 FSINFO sector.
	* configs/eagle100/*/Make.defs:  Added configuration options that should make
	  it possible to build NuttX for the Eagle100 using CodeSourcery 2009q1 toolchain
	  and the devkitARM GNU toolchain.
	* configs/mcu123-lpc214x/src: Corrected some logic in the LPC2148 SPI receive block
	  logic.  Re-verified SDC ver1.x support with 1Gb Toshiba SDC, 1Gb PNY SDC, and
	  4Gb Kingston SDHC.  There are CMD0 issues with the 2Gb SanDisk SDC on this board.
	* fs/fs_mount.c: Corrected error handling that could cause a deadlock on certain
	  mount() failures.

0.4.8 2009-xx-xx Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

	* lib/lib_*stream.c: Extend internal stream logic to support incoming streams.
	* arch/arm/src/str71x: Serial output is now correct and timer interrupts are
	  working.  The test at configs/olimex-strp711/ostest passes.  This means that
	  the basic STR-P711 port is complete.
	* configs/olimex-strp711/nsh:  Add and verifed a NuttShell (NSH) configuration
	  for the STR-P711.
	* arch/arm/str71x/str71x_serial.c:  The STR711 interrupt driven serial driver
	  finally works after some extradinary measures to handle missed interrupts.
	  NSH is fully functional on the Olimex STR-P711 board.
	* example/nsh: Moved architecture specific files from NSH directory to board-
	  specific directories.
	* config/olimex-strp711/src/up_nsh.c:  Add an NSH board specific directory for
	  for the Olimex STR7P11 board.
	* Fixed build of LM3X6918 using the CodeSourcery Windows native toolchain.  There
	  were lots of issues with Cygwin paths and Cygwin symbolic links.  These changes
	  may work with the devarmKIT as well, but that remains untested.
